地下鉄の押上駅（スカイツリー駅）の近くにあります。防災関係のお仕事をしている人が研修で利用しているようです。講習会がよく開催されています。逆に言えば一般の人にはあまり縁がないようですが、それは残念なこと。防災はみんなに知ってもらってみんなで協力してやらないと意味がないですもの。だから、もっと一般の人に興味をもってもらい、いっぱい来てくれないと。スカイツリーの帰りに寄ってください。

ゴールデンウィークは満員で、チケット売り場も、中のどこも長蛇で、のんびりはできません。せせらきを聞きながら、持参のお弁当を食べてのんびりと過ごすなら、よいですが、入場料大人1200円は内容からすると、割高感を感じます。
